For many health systems, managing social media can be a challenging task - and the need for a social media management system (SMMS) is critical. However for many professionals, they see SMMS as a technology solution and not a shift in the overall social media process. In this episode, hosts Reed Smith and Chris Boyer discuss the different types of social media software, the elements of a social media management system and share ways organizations can begin to evaluate their current state and the gaps that an SMMS might fill. They are joined by Michael Yoder, social media manager at Spectrum Health, in which he shares how his health system manages and responds to consumers on social media.
